Description
These comics are based on my term paper for my Europe After 1945 class.

Ukraine itself, of course, is part of the problem. It's kind of manic-depressive. The western regions, especially around the city of Lviv , are extremely nationalistic, Europe-friendly, speak Ukrainian, and want to join NATO. The eastern regions, especially the areas of Odessa and Crimea, are extremely pro-Russian, speak Russian, and want to return to Russia or some other USSR-like state. All people with very strong political opinions are in the minority, and the rest of the country will vote for whoever is promising them the best offer. This means that a distinctive Ukrainian national identity is hard to find, and that Ukraine tends to waffle on major international decisions depending on who is in office at the time. For example, it just recently decided that it won't join NATO after all, but up until this year it was trying very hard to get in.

Canada has the largest population of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine and Russia, and they still get along very well. Most of the Ukrainians in Canada, though, came from the western regions, and so are much more nationalistic and pro-Western Powers than the rest of Ukraine.
